There is a proverb to the echct that “ the. niuoti does not regard the barking of dogs.". lllt‘ulill‘lltllllll apcrsou who is trying to enlightw en the community In which he livcl. to run” to be assailed by the cluuiour of the bigoted and ignorant. Thus it is in regard to those l who act in defence of the female 'Ienchcfs of this bland. In the Journal of tire lltb ult.. there appears an article over the signature of “ l’ednguguc," containing. as he suptiuseh fl rct'uttuion of some of the statements made by " A Teacher." but which are simply it tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end.

The sentence which appears to have called forth the ire of this Herculean defender of the male Tent-hers. Is what I said in rcfe i cc to the most intelligent student in the hormnl School being a young lady. which he informs the public is “incorrect.” "and a teacher must have been misinformed," and enforces his statements by telling us he was it “ frequent visitor to the Normal School." both during Mr. Webster's time. and after Mr. Lawson's accept-lion to oilict; but notwithstanding l'cdagocue‘ec‘frcqncnt visits to the Normal

chool." his onconiums in support of the niiilc portion of the school. and all his cbnvcils on the subject. “A Teacher was not niiuint'urni- ed." for the most intelligent student in the Normiil School. during the term alluded to. was nota "younxinan t‘romGrahnni‘s Road.“ buta ynmg lady, from Carmdi'slt. named Miss CLARK; and if “l'ediigefle” cannot rely upon my statements. he had better refer the question to Mr. Lawson. the present teacher of the Normal School. and gin: his reply to the public.

But Mr. Editor. itis a remarkable circum- stance. if " l'edngoguc " was a “frequent vi- sitor to the Normal School," that he should have inturnied the public that Mr. Webster. lute teacher of said school. taught two months of‘ the term alluded to. when he taught only afeis days over one month. Ahi Mr. Peda- goguel bettcryou liiid “ let A Teacher" letter go for what. it is worth," than display ignor- iincc so freely.

Then he concludes his highly enlogiiliciil letter by informing us the reason “ why t’cuiale tent-hers do not recen'e :0 hiin a salary as males." for which they. in colon. should feel dceplyiudebted. And now. behold! heurkcn! nll ye who compose that tit-graded chiss— l t'enmlc Teachers. I‘Altliough they get the‘ same questions to answer and the same pro- bienn- to solve, yet the board are not so slrll'tl with them as they are With the males; for ifl they u crc. tint one out of every ten who apply for licenses would receive them."

And now what think yc of our in crates. Logical! vcry.’ is it not. quisition of the subject reflects much oil the gentlemen vrlio compose our honour- iihlc Board of Education. does it not? Now, llir.

GIFT ENTERPRISE VIOIIMS.

Em'ron Jornxac,

Si'i‘:—'l‘liis is truly ii progressive age“ there is never wanting some new schciiic., which promises to richly reward the enter- prising spcculntor. Sometimes the fortunate possessor of surplus cash is induced to invest in Railway or Telegraph speculations. iit_ other times in factories or the fishing busi- neu. and not unl'requcntly hank stock is held up to be the safest. readicst. and easiest way of accumulating the coveted pllo. But till those have been suddcnly eclipsed by n until. her of Gift Enterprise Companies which have lately sprung into existence in the neighboring Republic. and which otfcr untold wealth for the trifling will of twenty-five cents—Green- baekl, too, It tlllt.

TEE RAILROAD PETITION.

Lot ‘7

As we have always acted upon the principle that merely party interests should not be sufficient to interfere with the fair and just consideration of matters affecting the welfare of the whole com- munity. irrespectiver of the comeruttvc merits of Tory or LiLeral. Whig or Radi- cal. we take the liberty of Mcrcctio. in writing a “plague on both their houses," so long as the pursuit of their personal and party objects shall render them blind or indifferent to matters of importance to the whole community. '

With these views. we invite the atten- tion of Our readers to the copy ofthe pc- tition fora survey and estimate of a Rail- road or Railroads, which we publish be- low. Copies of thisdocunient have been sent for signatures to different. parts of the County. and we trust that no man, who shall have the opportunity of signi- fying his approval of the subject matter. will hesitate in affirming its statements by his signature.

To those of our farming population whose limited experience of the World outside the Island. has prevented them from forming an opinion of the benefits accruinp to a country from improved means of communication. we would rc- commend a reference to the results which have taken place in other countries where they have been introduced. and we can promisc,our readers that we shall, as soon as the necessary statistics can be procured. show them that they have every reason to believe that in. advocating the prayer of the petition to, which we refer. theyvtillbe at thé same titpe advancing the material interests of the country, und heiicfittiug themselves sensibly. as soon as the iictive operations for lhe' running efthe iron horse shall have been coin- mcnced. ‘ '

The prayer of the petition is moderate. and ti coniplinncc with it easily within

the means of the Gorernmcnt. and if it slloulfl Bu iuunn incur-toiiionr-cu on...

mcncc the construction ofti line of'Rail- road immediately, we can. nt'lcnst, afford to pay for a survey and estimate of cost. which would be at all times serviceable as a guide to the Government of the day. with reference to the probable cost they may have to incur. in the realization or which. to most of us, has hitherto been a dream. but to our neighbors a substan- tial and highly‘profitable reality.
